Rhythm and Dunes Benefits Local School Music Programs

23-Sep-2014 West Shore Bank is pleased to announce that for the third year in a row, a portion of the proceeds from its Rhythm & Dunes summer concert series was donated to benefit music programs of local area schools. Thousands of music-fans flocked to Waterfront Park in Downtown Ludington to enjoy the performances. The Bank is elated to extend donations to three Mason County school districts – Ludington Area Schools, Mason County Central, and Mason County Eastern. Vendor proceeds, donations accepted during the concerts, and funds raised from rides on Charlie the Mechanical Bull and other merchandise sales increased the total funds donated this year to $5,700, over double the amount donated last year.

West Shore Bank would like to thank the community for its support of the Rhythm & Dunes concerts and for coming out to enjoy the shows. The Bank would also like to express thanks to its other supporting vendors: House of Flavors, Hungry Howie's of Ludington, and Lela's Kettle Corn. At a luncheon held on Monday, September 22, the Bank presented their donation to representatives from each school.

"West Shore Bank is proud to make a difference in our local communities and schools," said Raymond A. Biggs, President and CEO of West Shore Bank. "What an amazing turnout we had for our concerts this year. It's terrific to see the support the west shore community has for music and the programs offered in our area schools."

As an independent and locally owned bank, we take pride in helping our communities. With locations throughout Manistee, Mason and Oceana counties, West Shore Bank is committed to making a real difference in the local community and providing valuable financial solutions to all its customers.
